How to run custom scripts with KRunner

Hi!

I'd like to run my custom scripts, kept within ~/linux/bin, with KRunner. Is there any way to enter just script name instead of whole path? Something like editing $PATH in .zshrc maybe?

Cheers

Yeah, I'd say that should do it.

Well, we must've misunderstood. It's definetely not working, I meant that's the way to make it work in zsh, and maybe it's similar for KRunner.

Re: How to run custom scripts with KRunner

from a quick google-trip it seems Krunner doesn't always respect $PATH.

as a workaround found here you might [re]set you're $PATH in a script inside ~/.kde/env/ to see if that takes affect for KRunner

If you would like to affect the global environment of your KDE session, and are not using a custom session, you can place files in ~/.kde/env. Files ending in ".sh" are read and executed in the same shell that is reading and executing the startkde script.
